A note from us
Ashraf and Amira, together with Magdy and Hala, invite you to the marriage of their children.
We met at opposite ends of a very long table and took four years to get to the middle of it.
There is a lake. Please come.

How we got here
June 2022
Opposite ends of a table
A wedding neither of them wanted to attend. They were seated as far apart as the seating plan allowed and spoke for the first time in the car park.
Summer 2024
Learning to row, badly
Two people who cannot row, one boat, and a lake with no current to blame it on.
March 2026
The quiet side of the water

Add it now so it is there when the week gets busy.

Questions
Can I bring someone?
If your invitation names a guest, absolutely. If it does not, we are at the edge of the room and we are sorry.
Are children welcome?
Yes, all evening. There is somewhere quiet to sit if anyone needs it.
Is there parking?
Yes — the note under the address has the details.
By the water
Come and find us at the arch.
